Honestly, I'm still fishing out my lib brain worms, but the VP taking over the campaign made sense to me regardless of how she primaried.
It would make sense if joe were popular, but he really wasnt. Thinking they could just copy/paste his agenda on to a different person and win was deeply unserious, just like leftists kept screaming every damn day until this morning
She easily could've separated herself more from him, but very purposefully didn't.
The only time she distanced to herself from Biden was on things that were objectively unpopular, like not raising taxes as much on rich people.
I already see some of the rhetoric saying that Kamala was too far left. I think the only lesson that the DNC is going to take from this election, is that they need to go even further right. When in reality, pointing out how weird it is that Republican politicians are so concerned about children's genitals is an effective strategy, that was only stopped because Kamala Harris has a bipartisanship fetish.
While I'm definitely afraid the DNC will go that way, I've been surprised by how many normal people I see not getting that out of the election on libs.world or Reddit. Sure, there's the occasional post still blaming Arabs or Latinos whatever, but I see a lot of anger pointed at the Dems instead that can be harnessed. This may turn out to be a great teaching and radicalizing moment if socialists take advantage of it now.
I think the fact that he won the popular vote means that the regular scapegoats they were planning on don't work. There was clearly not enough third party voters and they lost votes they had in 2020. It could just be sexism, but I think a lot of people have the feeling something else happened, something related to the campaign, or I wouldn't be seeing so much anger and disappointment directed at the Dems.
This is the day after though, I expect the narratives to consolidate and coalesce over the next few days.
True. Right now they're still reeling, which is why now I think is the time to spread our messages and press them.
